The key to the test

Count answers.

If you have clearly dominated the answers "A", be careful - "Complex threatened the authority" can become a "disease."

If you have clearly dominated the answers "B", it is possible to admit that you are very careful, but we can not exclude you have a predisposition to this "disease."

If you have clearly dominated the answers "B", then you take towards their subordinates too defensive.

If you dominate the answers "D", then most likely you are not fit for the role of "authority".

If none of the answers types did not get you a clear advantage, it means that this test can not describe you accurately.

Explanation of the test

"Cure" their "complex threatened the authority" is extremely difficult, and therefore the most effective preventive measures to be taken by the chief executive. To avoid this "disease," it is necessary to create the climate in the team healthy criticism, based on the business, a fundamental analysis of the situation in which the organization operates.

We are not accidentally used the term "healthy criticism", since not all the criticism in relation to the "authorities" should be welcomed. We must remember that the "authorities" - this is a valuable asset of the organization and undermine them as bad as let them "sick." Therefore, the above should not be inferred that the protection of "authority" - it is unworthy. Unworthy only those actions which entail consequences for the most dangerous and "authority", and the organization that he heads.
